The Path to LeadershipRequirements for leading Eagle View outings are as follows: Be a Sierra Club Member in good standing. Be 18 years or older. Participate in an Outdoor Activity Training Program * (OATP) workshop. Be recommended for leadership by a leader from a trip in which you participate. This is optional, but usually speaks volumes as a recommendation. First Aid Training. All leaders must have at minimum Red Cross First Aid. If you want to lead outings overnight or in riskier locations you must acquire Wilderness First Aid * (WFA) or Wilderness First Responder * (WFR) certification. The Sierra Club reimburses reasonable fees to active leaders. Maintain current knowledge of Club policies and procedures. Meet group trip-planning deadlines. Continuing Education: All leaders are encouraged to keep improving their skills by participation in various training courses and workshops* by the Sierra Club and other outdoor education organizations. Advanced outdoor leadership and first aid certifications are encouraged.
